Great golf!
Was the Ryder Cup broken when the Americans lost?
It should’ve been even worse , but somehow the Americans got swept Friday , that shouldn’t have happened .. do people really think this is going to be fair 😂
I gotta admit I didn't watch a second of it for the first time ever. I enjoyed the DP World Tour event today however
It is a pga tour event …maybe give them a head start.
28 points makes sense for consistency event to event.
There is more parity than you make it out to be. The internationals swept a session with 5 matches/so 1o players. They have been close in recent memory. If they step up they can beat this American team. But they just haven’t done so.
It is good to see Adam play his best ever in this event but he, Hideki, and conners don’t make enough putts for how awesome they are tee to green. To their credit they did have moments this week.
Jason Days words this week about lacking motivation because
other guys lacked motivation was honest, and we appreciate that, but I just wish he didn’t have that mentality to begin with. He really looked not super motivated at times this week. They definitely need to start by finding 12 self motivated cats to go up against these ‘Dawgs’.
Obviously the internationals would benefit from LIv players more than the Americans.
But Ultimately what this event needs IMHO is all the best players. The Ryder cup for a long time was one sided and it survived because it is a great camaraderie event and a chance for fans to see the best of the best in a refreshing format.
But the best of the best is not the case now. IMO we need to get off this talk that the event is not good if a team has a long run of success and instead focus on the desperate need to have the true top 12 for each team.
Is anyone talking about changing to a mixed event?
just come back to Montreal don't take another 20 years.
You banned the players on the LIV Tour and wonder why it is non-competitive. Cameron Smith, Joaquin Niemann and Louis Oosthuizen wouldn't have made this more competitive. They aren't better than the three worst players on the International side. In addition, Dean Burmester, Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz won on the LIV Tour this year.
A major difference is that in the RC, home team can set up the course to their advantage and can take advantage of visitors weaknesses. The PGAT set ups arent very challenging.
The fact that this was considered a 'home' event for the Internationals, and it was played in Canada, should tell you all you need to know about how much of a sham event this truly is. Is this really a 'home' event for the Australians, or the Koreans? They've been fooling us for decades that this is a great alternative to the Ryder Cup during off years, and we're just now complaining about it.
I only started watching when on the 2nd day the intl team mounted a comeback and players started throwing in their theatrics making things interesting and spicy. 3rd day was meh, and then the Americans had their way. Didn’t watch the last day, instead enjoyed the DP world tour final day.
Maybe you both didn’t see how many matches when to 18 hole and the American’s won……. If they loose a few of those matches, you could had a different story……it was entertainment for me to see
Yes this event is broken
We need to find away to integrate this into the Ryder cup
The Presidents Cup was just a money bag created by the PGA Tour to mimic the Ryder Cup (and its lucrative cash flows). You can't re-create the genuine drama of the Ryder Cup. Without the best international stars playing and bunch of Canadian mules on the team, the competition is always going to be one-sided. Thanks Jay! White guys losing their touch with any business sense
It is now the most useless and meaningless event in all of golf
Again, events without Liv players on US and international side makes for a poor competition.
Reduce it to 28 points, so USA can win a half hour earlier?
Seve an antagonist. I guess for Americans perhaps. But he is the man who elevated the status of Ryder cup. Without him and rest of European hero’s like Nick Faldo, Ian Woosnam, Langer, Sam Torrance, Olazabal, Monty, …
Are these guys insane?? The matches were tight to the end. Anything could've happened.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Look at liv players that should have been in that team and we might be having different conversation. Joaquin nieeman not in there is the biggest disgrace of them all.
Here’s what needs to change; the Internationals need to get better; if the aren’t good enough so be it; you don’t need to gimmick it up to try to make it better
Are you guys Americans? Why wouldn’t you want the USA to win every time if they are better. Hey Lav do you want the SEC to change things, to pass some rules so Vanderbilt can better compete with Georgia?
Isn’t it a formality that Georgia is gonna be better than Vandy, Kentucky, Ole Miss etc every year? What rules need to be changed?
Rex; then blame LIV golf not the format
The USA has not won the Ryder Cup on foreign soil since 1993. Should the format change when the USA plays in Europe? It’s one sided right? Shouldn’t we want to change something to the format to make it easier for the US to win on foreign soil? Or should the USA just play better maybe.
Haven’t watched it in YEARS. It’s not the Ryder Cup no matter how hard they try. See you boys in January.
Great pod. Pity not that competitive this week.
Time to scrap this event. Totally not needed. Not important to the players on any side.
Time to dump and expand the Ryder cup to include other nations
So. America wins and that’s a problem? I bet these two will be voting for Kamala.
You guys are both bozos
It was a lot closer than it appeared. I read that the US won one more hole than the internationals…

What was not discussed is who runs the two different events. The Presidents Cup is run by the PGA Tour, so no LIV golfers. The Ryder Cup is jointly run by the PGA of America and Ryder Cup Europe. That's an important distinction. The Ryder Cup will have LIV golfers on both teams. They were remiss in not mentioning the possible inclusion of Brooks and Bryson on the U.S. Ryder Cup team and the implications from that.
Just here to read comments. 😊
This two are trying to be neutral but failed. 😂
Comments about Adam Scott and why he wants ti keep playing in this event are ridiculous… he is a competitor!!
I wish I had time to listen to all of this, but was there any criticism at all of the Commissioner? If not, why?
Time to cancel the President's Cup and replace it with an annual PGAT v. LIV match play event. That would so so much more compelling to watch and the bragging rights would be off the charts.
I agree with some comments about pga vs LIV. Cant deny it would be must watch.
Wrong! Giving the International captain more picks instead of automatic does absolutely nothing and can potentially create a larger gap. They already get to pick 6.
You have an event that is not a true rivalry that's going up against the NFL. I have to believe the ratings for NBC were dismal As a Canadian, I knew that by midway through Saturday, this was a competition that had no drama and flipped to College Football. They should put this event on hiatus and try an international mixed team event because the International women can actually carry that team/
Rex and Lav look at the score and the event is broke. It wasnt till 445pm EST that the cup was retained. USA needed the golfing gods to retain. The Internationals were a good team. There was a good hour where it looked like momentum might change. The USA divas benefited from this being a PGA tour event. They dont want LIV players to come back. Would Scottie Scheiffler be world #1 if they came back. NOPE. Would the Internationals wins? YES.
